No pictures today, just a quick update....we got a crib! Baby's room is started!
We're not very close though, because the office needs to be cleaned out and reorganized before we have a baby's room, and that's not very fun work. We're very slow at it. I have all the books out of the bookcases, so those are ready to move, but we're living among boxes of files and sorted bags of papers to recycle, shred, and store in the "new" office/guest bedroom. We got a new shredder with Christmas money (thanks Aunt Karyn!!) and are impatiently awaiting it's arrival.
I'm sure once the room is cleared of office stuff and ready for baby stuff we'll have a lot more fun and maybe be more efficient.
So, the most exciting thing here lately is that we have a crib! But no picture, since it's still in a box. We got a crib and matching dresser/changing table at Ikea on Friday. It's always a special and fun trip when we get to go, since it's not really close and we have to take a toll-road...we make it a date and enjoy it! We usually only go about once a year, but it's such a fun store! Ikea is wonderful!!
Except for...
we also needed another bookcase. Being students, our book collection has outgrown the shelf space available. Our bookcases are from Ikea, so of course we were planning to get one more while we were there. Ikea was OUT of our bookcases though! Temporarily-out-of-stock read the label.
Way to slow us down on our office-moving, baby-room-preparing even more Ikea!
We decided to try to look for it online when we got home. I found it available online for the same price in-store, $19.99, and was in the process of checking out when the taxes and shipping & handling fees were added. Guess how much shipping & handling is for one $20 bookcase?
$119.00
Yep...Don't think we're doing that.
We'll just pay the $5 in tolls, and $15 in gas to go back up to Ikea and get it ourselves someday when they have it in stock.
Just thought you might enjoy a little bit of that craziness.
